Kelly will be second in the game this week after Case Keenum. Paxton Lynch has been demoted to third string, and Joseph admitted the former first-rounder "has potential, but has to start performing." Lynch has been pretty dreadful ever since entering the league, and Kelly easily leapfrogged him after a single preseason outing over the weekend. Kelly went 14-of-21 for 177 yards, two scores, and a pick against the Vikings' threes. Lynch may no longer be on "scholarship" in Denver and isn't a lock to make the team's final 53-man roster.

It's hardly a shock following Kelly's performance (14-21-177-2-1) against the Vikings Saturday. Paxton Lynch, on the other hand, was abysmal, completing just 6-of-11 passes for 24 yards and an interception against Minnesota's second-team defense. Kelly hadn't received much buzz in camp prior to his preseason performance, but even his untapped/unknown ceiling is higher than Lynch's. If Kelly continues to outplay Lynch, the Broncos may be forced to keep three quarterbacks heading into the season. Aug 13 - 5:35 PM

Chad Kelly completed 14-of-21 passes for 177 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in his preseason debut against the Vikings.

Kelly repped with third-teamers in first NFL action after missing his rookie year to wrist and knee injuries. He outplayed a struggling Paxton Lynch, with his highlight coming on a 36-yard touchdown to TE Matt LaCosse. There hadn't been much training camp buzz on Kelly but he's looking like a legit threat to Lynch's backup role. Kelly's debut may have been enough for the Broncos to keep three quarterbacks.

Broncos QB Chad Kelly has been working out with former Giants QB Phil Simms in advance of his first NFL season.

Last year's Mr. Irrelevant, Kelly missed his rookie season with wrist and knee injuries. He was declared fully health following the year. A favorite of Rookie Scouting Portfolio's Matt Waldman coming out of Ole Miss, Kelly showed NFL-caliber tools in college but struggled with off-field issues and health. As Trevor Siemian is limited and Paxton Lynch continues to look like a bust, Kelly is arguable the most talented quarterback on Denver's current roster. Kelly is the nephew and godson of Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly. Feb 21 - 8:34 PM

Henderson's agent has said he's dealing with a "family and personal situation," but the team has maintained a tough love approach, suggesting they're not buying the reason Henderson is gone. Whenever Henderson finally returns, he's going to have a monumental task in regaining the coaching staff's trust and solidifying himself on the depth chart.

Fumagalli didn't practice this spring after sports hernia surgery. He should be cleared for the start of camp, where he'll compete in a wide-open tight end depth chart. Fumagalli has some pass-catching upside but is unlikely to have an early season role.
